Utility / 09/02/24 09:15UTC 8.1760 USBS6 VMC Australian wx
« on: September 02, 2024, 1424 UTC »
Automated OM reading wx. Station ID at end of recording. Sorry about quality but it do be noisy this morning. Ran it through RM noise on my end and sounded great but the SDR Uno recording plugin takes it straight from the radio and not the sound card. RM Noise is an awesome AI filter that makes the weak stations come in clear. If you haven't tried it you should. Especially if you are using an SDR.

Getting what is likely Jindalee Operational Radar Network or HFDL bursts. Seems to be several stns or if the JORN is running a series of different directional patterns.

HF Mystery Signals / 8/21/2024 21:00 UTC 14756 voice
« on: August 21, 2024, 2121 UTC »
Heard what sounded like an EAM on 14756 give or take. Tuned around a few kHz either way. Sounded like it might have been in LSB but HFGCS does not use LSB to my knowledge. Checked 15016 and 11175 and heard nothing. I've heard of airborne assets sending EAMs on discretes from time to time. Sorry no recording. I blame the cat.
Any ideas?

ID and Translation Requests / 8.424 15:30 UTC SVO Olympia radio?
« on: August 18, 2024, 1538 UTC »
I don't do morse code and I can't get my decoder to capture the ID after the tones. Anyone can confirm the CW id please? The only listing I can find is for Olympia radio SVO on this frequency but Greece to my QTH this time of the day is a bit sus. Recording below.

08/08/24 23:38 UTC 13.5590 USB S8 PIP Beacons Several stns sending 1 or 4 pips. Not CW, just short pips. Usually a series of 1 pip, some times 4 pips. Rarely 7 pips. Definitely more than 1 stn.

Search here reveals discussion on the topic as late at 201 and going back to 2015. Listed as RFID one database Definitely in the beacon zone.

Recording of the frequency in question:

I can't seem to find anything on a search for the Chinese 4+4 digital signal. Wondering if this is it. Nothing on the SIDIWiki.

Good signal at just over S9 with slight fades.

Audio file and screen grab of the signal.
